2 Claims. (Cl. 267-S) The present invention relates to a Wheel suspension for a vehicle and, more particularly, to the arrangement of the springs of a heavy duty vehicle or bus provided with torsional stabilizer springs.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a housing 16 is attached to A chassis composed Similar trunnions 40 fixed to the ends of the beam 38 are connected with the springs 14,

For the extending away from the axle tances being located immediately adjacent to the springs 13 equal disi 2,766,035 Patented Oct. 9, 1956 14, 15 on the inside thereof. The ends of the arms are connected by substantially vertical links 26 and 27 to on the outer faces o' the respective longitudinal beams 10, or 11 respectively. Preferably, resilient cushions 28 and 29 are interposed between the links and the brackets 30, 31 in a known manner. Moreover, two pairs of shock absorbers 32, 33 are from Fig. 1.

stresses will counteract the axle to the chassis.

Thus, is that the t so that the space therebetween may be used for other purposes.

While a preferred embodiment of the s been described, it is to be the appended claims. What I claim is: 1. In a vehicle, wheels, a common axle carried by said wheels, a pair of symmetrical relationship with respect to the central Vertical plane of said axle, each stabilizer rod having arms at the ends thereof extending horizontally in away from said axle, links connecting the ends of said necting said shock absorbers to said axle at opposite sides 2,152,661 Paton Apr. 4, 1939 thereof. 2,179,016 Leighton Nov. 7, 1939 2.
